WCC 13/52 - Don't Count Your Chickens...

 

Now for something completely different! This critter coincided with Easter, so of course it had to be something topical. This is a tiny fine silver chicken bead sitting on her silver wire nest. She is a little pendant. I made her using Art Clay Silver fired over a wood clay base to make a hollow bead, and then enamelled her.

 

I think she is really fun...

 

...and really little! :)

 

Here is her poem

 

Broody little hen

Sitting on her eggs

Soon fluffy little chicks

Will run about her legs

 

This is the fourth of EIGHT posts for today to catch me up - so do check out my others :)

WCC 8/52 - Bronze Jalien Alpha

 

This weeks critter is another Jalien!! He is Bronze Jalien Alpha and is a Goldie Bronze pendant set with a 3mm lab ruby.

 

When I fired him and took him out of the kiln he came out with the most wonderful kiln patina, in the photo below. I did debate keeping this finish but when I put a sealer on it the colours dulled a bit, and also I worry that the high spots will wear smooth anyway and ruin the look. So he was duly polished and with a heat patina applied came out as above - and I really like him! )

 

Here is his poem - short but sweet!! lol

 

An alien face

From outer space
A Jalien race

 

Have fun!! :)
